Cyberpunk "Sci-Fi in a leather jacket.."

Cyberpunk articles and essays. Cyber-age philosophy, dark technology and ethics. Information on the Cyberpunk genre and style, sci-fi, hackers and real life developments in sci-tech.

Fans are in no doubt what cyberpunk is, but ask them and they can’t tell you!

I see cyberpunk as being the ‘dark’ underground (cool) side of technology – a world away from the geeks and techie/trekkie nerds.

Cyberpunk is a feel. Its visionary and longs for a rich technological future of cyberspace and the merging of communication and information across the world.

It has an anarchistic feel to it with the hacking side of things but more than that longs for freedom of information.

Largely driven by sci-fi writers esp. William Gibson, CP can be found in films such as Bladerunner, Ghost in the Shell, Johnny Mnemonic, The Matrix, Lawnmower Man and so on…

Also under this heading, I’ve included the subject of cyborgs, implanting etc and topics including the science and philosophy on transferring consciousness to artifical creations.

It’s a Brave New World that we live in filled with mystery and strange phenomena.

Science and technology try to dominate our lives one way or another whether via the internet, cyber implants, household robots or new galaxies to explore.

We are in somewhat of a ‘cyber-age’ but the earth with it’s secrets and the goings on of the paranormal still give the other side (the cyberpunks, hackers, techno cultured, and scientists) a good run for their money as the very ‘normal’ world we live in is as bizarre, mysterious and unexplainable as you can get. With phenomenal weather forces, earth’s own powers and fields, odd nature and Human kind’s hidden depths (not to even mention the miracle of spirituality), we get a glimpse of this crazy life.

Sadly though, humans seem to like to tell a good story. Myths, legends and pure speculation will always hinder the more phenomenal truth (ironically).

Fuchsia Shockz aims to pick and choose the best articles and news on all the mentioned topics of science, nature, technology, robotics, artificial intelligence, spirituality, and the cyberpunk genre and sci-fi and just document this life we live.
